Hey

Is there anywere i can go to find a longines pocket watch movement caliber.

I need to find the winding system for one.

Under the dial on the movement is the number 891499 or 891492

I have tried googling it and checked longines history pages but i've drawn a blank.

cheers

That is a nice movement you have there, you could Always send a request to Longines and they will come back to you with the information you need.
If you send them your serialnumber on the movement and the serialnumber in the pocket Watch case you even get where it was sold and if the case is correct.
To recieve an certificate , a written paper COSTs but an e-mail answer is for free.

But if you are in a hurry I would take a guess that your movement is from around 1897-1898 and the caliber is probably an 18.5.

This website will date your watch to within a few years and if you lucky you will match it to one of the photos, else as said above email Longines.

There's a very good match to a Longines 18.63 / 18.64 if you compare your pics to the layout and plate holes of http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Longines_18_64

Does the rest of the movement, along with the measurements etc. on this ranfft page, tie up?
